Junior?

It depends on what school you go to, at some schools, upperclassmen have no problem going through recruitment and receiving a bid but at others, it's virtually impossible. Also, if you do decide to go through as an upperclassmen, depending on the school you attend, you may/may not need recommendations. I would emphasize during recruitment that you still have 2 more years left in school.

Just out of curiosity, are there schools where every chapter is consistently making quota? I don't know of any, and it seems like even the "really competitive" recruitments have one chapter that isn't. It seems that it wouldn't be impossible for a junior to get a bid if they were willing to consider all of the options.

There are lots of competitive schools where everyone makes quota, even the struggling chapter(s). Making quota doesn't necessarily mean your entire pledge class shows up on bid day or sticks around until initiation.

Under RFM, even the struggling chapter has to cut pnms and juniors may be the first to go in initial rounds. Also, juniors may manage to drop the struggling chapter after the first round or two then get cut hard in later rounds, being left with no options.

Thanks, that makes sense.
